Jude and Paul, Certified Acutonics® Practitioners, were among the first to train with the founders of the Acutonics® sound healing system. They completed training to become Certified Acutonics® Instructors in February of 2001. Since that time they have trained acupuncturists, body workers, musicians, animal healers and others in this powerful system. Their goal, in the Buddhist tradition, is to continue to grow spiritually in order to

relieve the suffering of their fellow beings.

Paul received his bachelor’s degree in education with a major in English and a minor in psychology from Western Washington State College in 1969. During college Paul developed an interest in haiku poetry which led to a wider interest in Buddhist and Taoist philosophy. He worked in a number of human services positions before this interest in Asian culture and personal experiences with energetic healing culminated in attending Northwest Institute of Acupuncture and Oriental Medicine (NIAOM) graduating in 1989, later earning certification in Chinese herbal studies and a Master’s degree in acupuncture from NIAOM.

Paul maintained a private practice of acupuncture and herbal medicine starting in 1989 sharing a joint practice with his wife Jude. In 1998, after studying, and being profoundly affected by the power of the Acutonics® system of sound healing, with Donna Carey and Marjorie de Muynck, Paul has been incorporating specially calibrated tuning forks, Tibetan bowls, toning, symphonic gongs and other forms of sound healing into his practice. In March 2007 Paul and Jude are moving to the Seattle Washington area to continue practicing oriental medicine and to practice and teach the Acutonics® sound healing system.
